1 Providing the resources to help sustain livelihoods & alleviate poverty through the protection of coral reefs & tropical forests
2 Welcome to Coral Cay Conservation The health of coral reefs and tropical forests worldwide are under threat from increasing global demands and pressures as our population grows and the climate changes. Coral reefs, mangroves and tropical forests are critical components of the global environment. They provide vital natural services to support and protect life and balance global climate as well as providing economic benefit to local and national economies through tourism and food production. Coral reefs and tropical forests together support almost two-thirds of all recorded living species. As these vital ecosystems degrade and disappear, their services are diminished, resulting in huge natural losses to biodiversity, disruption to the earth s natural balance as well as big economic losses to entire communities. Our Belief: Coral reefs are fundamental to the future of our planet. To neglect or destroy reefs means greater poverty for future generations. Our Vision: To lead recognition of the importance and management of coral reefs for everyone s future prosperity. Our Mission: Using the best science we will support the preservation of coral reefs and through learning and education support the dependant communities, in the most cost-effective means possible. Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) is one of the leading successful specialists in organising conservation expeditions with volunteers at the front-line of our work, capacity building at the core and science in the driving seat. Local organisations and governments call on us for manpower and expertise and we work in partnership to run effective conservation projects that benefit both the environment and local communities. We take a holistic biosphere approach and run both marine and tropical forest conservation projects. The combined efforts of CCC volunteers, field staff and local project partners have helped to create marine reserves and wildlife sanctuaries, thereby securing a future for local people whose livelihoods depend on healthy, thriving and protected coral reefs and tropical forests. David Bellamy OBE CCC President Since 1986, Coral Cay Conservation has been at the forefront of community-based coral reef and tropical forest conservation. Teams of people from all walks of life are taking part in an experience of a lifetime, living and working together in remote tropical environments and helping to protect the livelihoods of millions of local people. Through CCC you can play a key role in survey work above and below the waves, experiencing environments and cultures you never dreamed you would see. Thank you for caring. Our Cause Providing the resources to help sustain livelihoods and alleviate poverty through the protection of coral reefs & tropical forests It s great to have so many smiling people around you! Hilary Crane, Philippines
3 Reefs under Threat Only 3% of coral reef s worldwide are protected Coral reefs have become known as the rainforests of the seas due to their incredible biodiversity. They have evolved over the past 450 million years to become the most bio-diverse marine ecosystem in recorded history. Coral reefs provide food, protection and breeding grounds for some 25% of all marine life! They are a vital component of the global ecosystem. Today, technology enables us to travel further, dive deeper and exploit resources faster than ever before. Our impact is as exponential as our growing population. The combination of climate change and human activity now pose a real and direct threat to the survival of coral reefs. This onslaught of impacts is proving too much for reefs to combat. If current trends continue, reefs as we know them will disappear by 2055! Over half a billion people in coastal communities risk being displaced if they can no longer support themselves through the fruits that healthy reefs provide to the oceans. The situation is now critical! People are largely unaware of the scale of the damage to reefs and forests around the world. The current rate of destruction simply cannot continue if these vital natural ecosystems are to exist by the end of the century. We need to change our attitude towards natural resources and start protecting and sustaining them rather than exploiting them for our immediate gain until they are destroyed. Our generation is the instrument of change. If we don t act now it will be too late. This is why Coral Cay Conservation exists! What Are They Worth? Biodiversity: Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor yet support over 4,000 fish species, 800 coral species and thousands more plants and animals with new species being discovered all the time Food: In Asia alone over 1 billion people rely on fish as their main source of protein. 1km 2 of healthy reef can produce up to 30 metric tons of fish annually, enough to feed 600 people for a year Livelihoods: Some 600 million people in coastal communities rely on coral reefs for their livelihoods Medicine: Reefs are genetic banks for new life-saving drugs. Compounds from reef organisms have been used to treat cancer, HIV and cardiovascular diseases Economy: Reefs provide humans with living resources (such as fish) and services (such as tourism returns and coastal protection) worth about $375 billion each year Hard Facts! 30% of coral reefs have already been destroyed and a further 60% are severely threatened due to a combination of local and regional impacts. Every year 3,000km 2 of reefs are destroyed, an area the size of Luxembourg! Reefs At Risk If current rates of destruction continue we will have lost 50% of all coral reefs by 2030, and the vast majority of them by 2055 A single anchor drop from a cruise ship in the Virgin Islands destroyed over 300 metres of reef. This took 20 years to grow back!
4 Only 4% of tropical rainforests are protected 60% of tropical forests have been destroyed and 80-90% of remaining forests are threatened 191,000km 2 of tropical forests are destroyed annually Extinction rates are high species are currently lost every day and 50,000 each year Around 350 million of the worlds poorest people depend almost entirely on forest resources to meet their needs 25% of western medicinal drugs come from rainforest ingredients. The US National Cancer Institute has identified 3,000 plants that are active against cancer, 70% are from rainforests At the current rate of destruction 50% will be gone by 2025 and all our tropical forest could be lost by 2060 All the world s ecosystems are interconnected, which makes tropical forests our priority too. Tropical forests are a vital part of the global ecosystem. They cover less than 7% of the earth s surface, yet provide habitat for over 5 million species - over half of all living things. Tropical forests also play a crucial role in regulating the planets global climate by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide - a service of huge value with the imminent threat of global warming. They also receive almost half of all the rain that falls on land, releasing it slowly into rivers. Deforestation is the number one threat to tropical forests. An area twice the size of Portugal is cleared each year to meet increasing demands for crops, oil, gas, minerals, timber and forest products with new roads carved through forests to access them. Some 140 species face extinction every day as a direct result of deforestation. With insufficient trees to protect watersheds and high rainfall in tropical regions, mass flooding is inevitable, putting homes, farmland, and entire communities at risk and destroying the ecosystem on which they depend. Forests At Risk
5 CCC is made up of a family of thousands of volunteers, specialists, organisations, communities and scholars from all over the world - people just like you - who are working together to make a real difference. Our work has three key components: Habitat Mapping We need to know what s there if we are to protect it. That s where your part is vital. CCC volunteers are out on the front line of conservation, gathering data about reef and forest species to create habitat maps. These maps are used to identify candidate sites where the conservation efforts of local communities will be best placed to create sustainable management plans. Capacity Building We offer full science development training to empower you with knowledge about the ecosystem in order to take action to protect it. You can go on to develop your skills further by going through our PADI training up to Divemaster level. We direct a portion of volunteers funds into Scholarship Programmes where local people can apply to learn these skills themselves and our Train the Trainer courses allow local stakeholders to continue the work into the future. We work with our partners to encourage alternative livelihood practices that respect the people and the culture to minimise the use of destructive logging and fishing techniques. Raising Awareness Knowledge is power so we channel a significant portion of our efforts into education. We run workshops, activity days and education programmes locally and internationally to raise awareness about issues facing reefs and forests and what appropriate action to take. The most popular awareness tool is our Fred the Fish puppet show for the kids, thought up by volunteers just like you! Grace Quiton CCC Scholar. Philippines Corals, children, and tiny fish - I ll never look at them the same way after my CCC experience! I have been privy to the desperate lives of people who live around these fabulous beaches. I have witnessed for myself fisher folk neighbours struggling to get food on their tables and my own relatives scrambling for their share of peso bills dangled by corrupt politicians. All it takes to change this is a simple concerted effort from people willing and able to teach and give people a better understanding of what they have. Some time during underwater surveying, studying corals and fish, and doing community work, I had a change of heart. This made me wonder if someone had taken the effort to teach me when I was younger - how it would have changed the course of my life. Learning from and among people who have travelled from across the world to do volunteer work was amazing. I watched in amusement as they fussed over a tiny fish that normally would not have received such fanfare from Filipinos. The most ordinary things fascinated them, and they lent me a vantage point that I never knew existed. I believe this is the best thing CCC volunteers can leave for local counterparts like me. Coral Cay Action We publish all our reports and findings online as a resource for use in further efforts to expand conservation knowledge and understanding. Being trapped on a tropical island is something I can handle. Kirsten Schüett Volunteer, Cambodia

11 Marine Expeditions Ever dreamt of diving the fish-filled tropical waters of the world plus contributing to conservation? Well if the ocean is your thing, then a CCC marine expedition is perfect for you. You will help survey coral reefs in remote tropical locations, making for an exclusive and worthwhile experience that you will never forget! CCC marine expeditions are for those of you interested in diving and we offer full SCUBA training if needed to Divemaster level. As qualified divers you then undergo training in conservation science, where you learn about reef ecology, underwater surveying and how to species spot when you are down there diving! You will gain familiarity with coral reef habitats, and learn how we can help protect these threatened ecosystems into the future. From learning new skills through to meeting new people, there is no doubt that you will come away with many memories that are uniquely individual. Who knows what marine species you will encounter when diving in the tropical waters of the world! Expeditions The ability to dive daily on beautiful un-dived reefs was a fantastic bonus! But it s the people that make a CCC expedition what it is - living amongst other people who want to do something to help preserve coral reefs for future generations, but who can also conjure a fancy dress costume from whatever you can scrounge. Jake Turner, Philippines
